The funding of the healthcare (and pensions also) has to come from somewhere. Here, it is a mandatory percentage on top of the salary (so a part of the population don't contribute, some contribute more, and everybody can get the basic healthcare). And the higher the contributions, the higher the cost of the labour. The right-wing says that it is a big problem for the competitiveness of the French economy. It can be regulated in several ways: changing the amount of the contributions, changing the level of healthcare by several means (scarcity, lower reimbursements, fewer resources for hospitals…), controlling the doctors' fees and the price of the medications, trying to make the hospitals more efficient, avoiding unnecessary acts… In the last decades, governments have done a bit of all of that. People are unhappy, caregivers are exhausted and feel underpaid, the system is in debt and there is no consensus for the solutions.

Regarding healthcare, the successive governments have tried to limit the healthcare expenses by limiting the numerus clausus of trained medicine students (with the support of the doctor unions). Now there is more demand than offer (which goes to the most attractive areas), the scarcity is really high in the countryside, you can wait for months for an appointment and it will take years before new doctors are trained. There are several worrying structural problems, but compared to some other countries healthcare is quite affordable and high quality.

I used floss as indicated in ifixit comments, but the glue did not saw easily (I'm not dexterous).

At some point, only charging worked (and for one usb-c cable only on one side, which is weird given connecter is symmetrical), data and usb-audio stopped working. With my previous Samsung phone contact became very unreliable after 3 years. A new connector costs only a few euros, but I cannot do the soldering by myself and it cost me around 40€.

I recently changed the battery of my Switch 1, if for most of the process it was easy, and I really struggled on two points. 1) the plastic part into which the screws are screwed broke, and it is tough to remove them. 2) ungluing the battery with isopropyl alcohol without breaking anything was very long for me. I recently changed the USB port of my Fairphone 4 and it was just unscrewing and screwing. So for me it is a great change from Nintendo.

France is the 2nd largest market for manga after Japan (or it was a few years ago). That's surprising because there are almost 7 times more inhabitants in the US. Those who were a kid in the 80s and 90s in France saw a lot of Japanese anime on TV during this period, so that's part of the explanation.

I guess it would end up like usual: "They are fake news. They are created with AI. Everybody can do it. My dog can do it. They just hate America. Bad people. They want to hurt our great country[…]" And his radicalized voters will follow him, like it did not end Berlusconi career after the "bunga-bunga" scandal

Convincing more people that your approach is necessary and that technology will not evolve quickly enough to we (western people) continue to live like we used to? (until now, I brilliantly failed around me)

If find "let [people] go" much worse euphemism. I was shocked the first time I heard it, like if it was just the fate and the people deciding were not involved in this situation. In France, the local euphemism is to say that someone has been thanked ("remercié").

One must be careful when hiking with OpenStreetMap (and OsmAnd) as reference. Several times I could barely find the path (maybe it was added by someone but not really official and maintained) and I had to follow the positioning to try to follow the virtual path in the high grass. (but I still rely a lot on OsmAnd).

Between Passau (Germany-Austria border) and Vienna, you have asphalt for most of it, with some unpaved/compacted parts (it may have improved since 2015). You need to cross the river by small boats (for a fee) a few times. For bicycle touring, checking the type of surface on OpenStreetMap beforehand can be quite useful. Travelling on unpaved paths is not at all as fast as on asphalt is you have an hybrid bike (my case).

I stopped using my own domain (managed by an association) for sending to outlook.com and yahoo because I know it's a fight that will be a net loss for me. Senders will change provider (because it's critical) before these major actor starts planning a fix. And in an organisation, if a business person asks the IT to fix the issue, the only way to do it in a timely manner is to changer provider. The requester will not care if it's Microsoft fault, sending mail works at home and in other companies, not here, do something, business comes first, bla bla bla.

Or he was just trapped in the sunk cost fallacy ("I spent so much time that I cannot stop now even if it is not worth")
